    Area of Science:

    • Psychoanalysis
    • Psychology

    Background:

    • Limited research connects perversion, creativity, and childhood trauma's impact on object relations.
    • Childhood trauma may foster perversion and inhibit creativity by creating internal conflict.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To explore the relationship between childhood trauma, perversion, and blocked creativity.
    • To examine the role of object relations in psychoanalytic treatment for perversions.

    Main Methods:

    • Psychoanalytic theory applied to understanding perversion and creativity.
    • A detailed case report of a male patient with macrophilia and creative blocks.

    Main Results:

    • Childhood trauma can lead to a "bad object" internal world, hindering creativity.
    • Successful treatment involves identifying with the "phallic father" and retrieving a "good maternal object" (muse).

    Conclusions:

    • Addressing childhood trauma and internal object relations is crucial for treating perversions and unblocking creativity.
    • Psychoanalytic treatment can facilitate authentic creative work by resolving internal conflicts.
